I'll guide my people who lack sight along untraveled roads. I'll lead them on unfamiliar pathways.
JOHN 8:12 (MSG)
Jesus once again addressed them: “I am the world’s Light. No one who follows me stumbles around in the darkness. I provide plenty of light to live in.”
THE ESSENCE
No one who follows Jesus stumbles around in the darkness.
DAILY FODDER
If Jesus provides plenty of light for us to live in, why do we gravitate toward the dark edges?
PRAYER
Light of the WORLD, thank you for focusing your light LOCALLY so I can see. Nevertheless, I admit a fascination with darkness and even as I'm serving you I tend to push myself beyond your beam. Slow me down so I can receive the full benefit of your light, while enjoying your secure presence. I'm going to walk with you in the light you provide. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
